establishes general principles for the safe operation and maintenance of offshore pedestal-mounted revolving cranes on fixed or floating offshore platforms, offshore support vessels, jackup drilling rigs, semi-submersible drilling rigs and other types of mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs) This document also provides requirements and recommendations for personnel training, lift planning, preuse inspection, and testing of temporary cranes that are erected offshore 1.2 Typical applications can include, but are not limited to the following a) Offshore oil exploration and production applications; these cranes are typically mounted on a fixed (bottom-supported) structure, floating platform structure, or ship-hulled vessel used in drilling and production operations for offshore minerals and energy b) Shipboard applications; these lifting devices (rated for 10,000 lbs [4536 kg] or more) are mounted on surface-type vessels and are used to move materials, containers, ROVs, diving bells, pipeline, subsea components, and other materials on the vessel, between vessels, into the sea, or to the sea bed c) Heavy-lift applications; cranes for heavy-lift applications are mounted on barges, self-elevating vessels or other vessels, and are used in construction and salvage operations above and below the sea surface 1.3 Equipment (e.g davits, launch frames) used only for launching life-saving appliances (life boats or life rafts) are not included in the scope of this recommended practice 1.4 Lifting devices not covered by this document should be operated, inspected, and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations Normative References The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document For dated

Non-Mechanical Electrical Tracking No: Figure H.12—Crane Inspector Example Certificate Annex I (informative) Loading and Unloading Offshore Support Vessels I.1 Purpose The information in this annex is meant to provide guidance to crane owners and operators for safe operating practices during transfers of personnel or material to and/or from offshore support vessels I.2 Operations I.2.1 Vessel Operations—General I.2.1.1 The master of the vessel is responsible for safe positioning of the vessel during lifting operations and should consult with the facilities Person in Charge (PIC) prior to a lift for details related to positioning During lifting operations, the vessel should maintain station I.2.1.2 In order to prevent spillage over the vessel, or other discharges from interfering with vessel operations, an announcement should be made over public address systems to secure any discharges in way of the vessel involved in conducting lifting operations If discharges from the installation interfere with vessel operations, the loading or unloading operation should cease I.2.2 Lifting Operations—General I.2.2.1 Offboard/dynamic load charts should be used for all lifting operations involving vessels with consideration given to sea conditions and relevant significant wave heights I.2.2.2 Crane operators should not lift loads that exceed the crane’s nominal capacity (Rn) stated in the dynamic load chart I.2.2.3 Crane operators shall maintain visual contact with the load Where this is not possible, crane operators should maintain visual contact with another person who has direct visual contact with the load and direct communication with the crane operator I.2.3.4 Crane operators should know and obey the emergency stop signal at all times I.2.2.5 Loads should never be swung over the wheelhouse or crew on the vessel and should be lifted and lowered over the sea as long as possible before being swung over the boat deck I.3 Communications I.3.1 Two-way radio communication is most important between the vessel master, crane operator, PIC, and designated signalman on the deck of the vessel during marine transfers Whenever possible, vessel deck crew and deck operators on the installation should wear and communicate with radio headsets with integrated microphones that fit on or under required personal protection equipment I.3.3 The PIC and designated signalman should be identified and documented on the lifting plan and be communicated to the lift team and to personnel in proximity of the lift A best practice is to have the designated signalman clearly identified by high visibility vest or hardhat cover that is different from other colors used (e.g red vest for fire watch) 117 118 API RECOMMENDED PRACTICE 2D I.3.4 Signals between the crane operator and the designated signalman should be discernible—audibly or visually—at all times When using radio communication, continuous verbal instructions should be used The crane operator should stop the lifting operation whenever there is no clearly understood signal I.3.5 The effectiveness of communications should be verified, with particular attention given for blind lifts (e.g designated channels on radio for the operation) I.4 Lift Planning I.4.1 Transport documents should be transferred between the installation and the vessel well in advance of the start of lifting operations in order to allow sufficient time for personnel to plan and review the lifting operation material safety data sheets (MSDS) should be provided, when applicable I.4.2 The crane operator, master of the vessel, PIC, designated signalman, and all other involved personnel should carry out a pre-job/toolbox safety meeting including the review of JSA/JSEA documents before the loading or unloading operation commences The talk should include the following: — discussion and review of the cargo manifest; — review and discussion of the crane operation including positioning of load or offload, identification of persons in charge, required equipment and personnel, etc.; — review of the standard API crane hand signals and confirmation that such hand signals will be used if radio communications are unavailable or lost; — review of the emergency stop signal and confirmation that the emergency stop can be given by anyone and must be repeated by all personnel seeing the signal; — review and confirmation that the emergency stop signal will be obeyed immediately by the crane operator (unless the emergency stop would result in a catastrophic failure of the crane); — discussion of operational or environmental conditions that can create difficulties during the crane operation; — discussion of heavy lifts or other loads that require special attention; — discussion of sea fastenings or mooring arrangements; — discussion of short service personnel or other factors that should be taken into consideration; — discussion and review of MSDS’s, if applicable I.5 Safety I.5.1 Tag lines on loads should be of an adequate length to ensure the safety of the crew on the vessel at all times The number, length, and strength of tag lines used should be appropriate for the load handled I.5.2 Pinch points and other dangers that could injure personnel handling the load should be identified I.5.3 Before the lifting operation commences, the vessel's master should ensure that cargo deck safety zones and escape routes are known to the vessel crew and crane operator I.5.4 Safety zones should be clearly defined for each vessel Such areas should be outlined with paint of a contrasting color than the rest of the deck or other visible means to enable rapid identification and should OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF OFFSHORE CRANES 119 remain unobstructed by loads or other material at all times Common safety areas include the forward part of the work area, aft part of the deck, and areas around fire hose stations, other fire and life safety equipment, etc I.5.5 Loading and unloading of the work deck should be planned with escape routes in mind that will afford the crew the ability to access and evacuate work areas safely These areas will vary as the amount and composition of the load changes Accordingly, escape routes should be identified prior to each lifting operation I.6 Cranes—Fitness-for-Service I.6.1 Cranes should be operated, maintained, tested, and inspected in accordance with this recommended practice and any recommendations specified by the manufacturer I.6.2 Records of periodic tests and inspections should be maintained as required in Section 5.2 and made available upon request Bibliography [1] ASME B30.5, Mobile and Locomotive Type Cranes [2] ASTM A906/A906M, Standard Specification for Forged Grade 80 and Grade 100 Alloy Steel Chain
